The indexes rebounded from their maximums after US leader confirmed he along with lawmakers made up their mind to implement a three-week stop-gap spending plan with the aim of reopening the government.

In general, investor sentiment worsened for the last time in the face of revived fears having to do with the US government shutdown as well as the everlasting US-China tariff clash.

Among these uncertainties, the everlasting trade clash between China and America keeps worrying market participants.

An escalation of the US-China trade conflict would sharpen the global economic deceleration aready under way.
